1Now SaraiH8297 Abram’sH87 wifeH802 boreH3205 him noH3808 childrenH3205: and she had an handmaidH8198, an EgyptianH4713, whose nameH8034 was HagarH1904. 2And SaraiH8297 saidH559 to AbramH87, Behold now, the LORDH3068 hath restrained meH6113 from bearingH3205: I pray thee, go inH935 to my maidH8198; it mayH194 be that I may obtain childrenH1129 by her. And AbramH87 hearkenedH8085 to the voiceH6963 of SaraiH8297.1 3And SaraiH8297 Abram’sH87 wifeH802 tookH3947 HagarH1904 her maidH8198 the EgyptianH4713, afterH7093 AbramH87 had dweltH3427 tenH6235 yearsH8141 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and gaveH5414 her to her husbandH376 AbramH87 to be his wifeH802.

4And he went inH935 to HagarH1904, and she conceivedH2029: and when she sawH7200 that she had conceivedH2029, her mistressH1404 was despisedH7043 in her eyesH5869. 5And SaraiH8297 saidH559 to AbramH87, My wrongH2555 be upon thee: I have givenH5414 my maidH8198 into thy bosomH2436; and when she sawH7200 that she had conceivedH2029, I was despisedH7043 in her eyesH5869: the LORDH3068 judgeH8199 between me and thee. 6But AbramH87 saidH559 to SaraiH8297, Behold, thy maidH8198 is in thy handH3027; doH6213 to her as it pleaseth theeH2896H5869. And when SaraiH8297 afflictedH6031 her, she fledH1272 from her faceH6440.23
